Burj Khalifa, Dubai
A
true wonder of the modern age, the world's tallest building towers above the
desert metropolis of Dubai. At a groundbreaking 2,717-feet high (828m),
it has dwarfed the surrounding skyscrapers since it opened in 2010. The Burj
lays claim to many other records too: being the tallest free-standing structure
and having the most number of stories (160) in the world, among them. Its
striking design was inspired by minarets and a desert flower while the
inside is adorned with over 1,000 art pieces from both Middle
Eastern and international artists.
